To do this, cut a doily in half.

Create an angel halo out of a silver or gold pipe cleaner.
To make the halo, bend the end of a pipe cleaner to create a circle.
Twist the end of the circle around itself to seal it shut.
Cut the extra pipe cleaner off about 1 to 1-1/2 inches down from the halo.

Attach the halo to the back of the angel face with tape.

Peel the backing off a glitter foam star sticker and place it on your angel ornament.
Make a hanging ribbon
Cut off a piece of small white ribbon about 9-inches in length.
Make a loop with the ribbon and tie a knot in the end to seal it shut.
Cut off any excess ribbon hanging on the side of the knot.
Glue it to the angel
Heat up your hot glue gun.
(Remember, adult supervision is always required when using a hot glue gun.)
Place a dot of hot glue on the back of the ornament behind the angel face.
Place the hanging loop knot onto the glue to secure it on the back of the handmade ornament.
